One of our core values in our Connection Groups is that no one serves alone. One of the great parts of working at New Life is I get to work with and be apart of many different teams. I love it when we are able to work side-by-side with new host who are leading a group for the first time

But do you know what often separates a "good" team from a "GREAT" team? Answer: The Coach!

No one can do it by themselves. No one can serve without someone prayerfully encouraging along the journey. A Coach has the ability to support the new host, to them have the best possible experience.

A Coach can literally change the game! Here's 7 ways how:

Encouragement - A great Coach knows that encouragement is the fuel that inspires his players to get better.

Increased Performance - A Coach isn't content with the status quo; they're committed to getting the best out of their team and players to perform at a higher level.

Accountability - By the same token, a Coach brings great accountability to ensure that the team is striving towards their goals instead of "taking plays off."

New Ideas - A Coach will offer ideas and perspective that the players aren't always aware of, thus allowing for innovation and improvement.

Maximizing Strengths, Minimizing Weaknesses - A Coach is able to help his player's tap into their own strengths and minimize their weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Strategy - The Coach knows that without strategy, vision and dreams will fall flat. So the Coach develops strategy the players can buy-in to and execute to achieve their goals.

Confidence - One of the greatest things a Coach does is instill confidence in his players so they can go out and believe they have what it takes to get the job done!
